This Agreement outlines the terms and conditions governing the On-Line Banking and Bill Payment Services of Buffalo Grove Bank & Trust (the "bank"), offered via the Internet. As a customer of the Bank ("you") agree to abide by the terms and conditions of this agreement. This agreement is governed by the federal rules and regulations and by the laws of the State of Illinois. The Bank's business days are Monday through Friday, excluding Saturday, Sunday and federal banking holidays. The Account Agreement and Disclosure you received when you opened your account governs all accounts.

New Services. Buffalo Grove Bank & Trust may, from time to time, introduce new On-Line Services. You will be notified of the existence of the new services. By using these services when they become available, you agree to be bound by the rules contained in the On-Line Banking Agreement.
Password and Security. You will be allowed to select a user id and initial password (PIN) to access your accounts. It is recommended that you change your password every 60 days.
You agree that use of your password constitutes your authorization for all transactions made using your password. You agree to be responsible for the safekeeping of your password and agree to take reasonable precautions from your password being made available to unauthorized individuals. If you believe that your password PIN or computer has been lost or stolen, or that someone may access your account without your consent, or that someone has transferred funds without your permission, you agree to notify the Bank immediately.

Bill Payment Fees. There are no additional fees associated with use of bill payment via online.
Your Liability for Unauthorized Transfers. Tell us AT ONCE if you believe your password PIN has been lost, stolen or used without your permission. Telephoning is the best way of keeping your possible losses down. You could lose all the money in your account (plus your maximum overdraft line of credit). If you tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss, misuse or theft of your password PIN, you can lose no more than $50 if someone used your password PIN without your permission.
If you do NOT tell us within two business days after you learn of the loss, misuse or theft of your password PIN, and we can prove we could have stopped someone from using or accessing your Accounts without your permission if you had told us, you could lose as much as $500.
Also, if your statement shows transfers that you did not make, tell us at once. If you do not tell us within 60 days after the statement was mailed to you, you may not get back any money you lost after the 60 days if we can prove that we could have stopped someone from taking the money if you had told us in time.
If a good reason (such as a long trip or a hospital stay) kept you from telling us, we will extend the time periods.
Access, Transfer and Payment Limitations. You will be denied access to On-Line Banking if you do not use a valid user ID number and password (PIN). Access will also be denied if you exceed the number of invalid attempts allowed by us. Transfers and payments are limited to the amount of available funds in your account and any associated overdraft line of credit. Funds availability is subject to the funds availability schedule. The number of transfers from a money market or savings account may be limited as described in the account agreement and disclosure as scheduled from time to time.

If you tell us orally, we may require that you send us your complaint or question in writing within 10 business days.
We will determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days after we hear from you and will correct any error promptly. If we need more time, however, we may take up to 45 days to investigate your complaint or question.
